With the successful comprehension of the Rule of Gold, Peter Brown's Five Elements Rule is now only missing the Wooden Rule.

Just as Peter Brown left the Golden Mountain, he noticed a tremendous change in the Heaven and Earth, with rays of light spreading across the cosmos.

These rays dyed the entire sky a deep red.

At this moment, Peter could clearly feel several powers of Divine Sense rushing towards him like giant waves.

It was a frightening power that made people tremble.

People who have successfully comprehended!

Without thinking too much, Peter naturally understood the situation. There were still individuals in this Heavenly Vault who had successfully comprehended, and they too discovered his success.

Competition!

Peter had this idea in his mind—within this Heavenly Vault, there can only be one ultimate success, and they are his competitors.

However, Peter couldn't quite understand how they managed to comprehend the ultimate Wooden Rule.

The Wooden Rule, as Peter saw it, was a rule representing life, vitality, and energy. Only by successfully comprehending it in the end could one become a realm unto oneself, truly ascend to the highest existence, transcending all else.

As Peter was pondering this, he noticed the world around him was in turmoil as if Heaven and Earth could not withstand it.

Energy shimmered through the starry sky, and the star planet quivered continuously.

Amidst Peter's bewilderment, several people appeared before him, both male and female, young and old.

Of course, with Peter's understanding, he didn't believe those who appeared young were actual youths. They were likely strong persons who had comprehended the power of four rules, just with different appearances.

At a glance, Peter saw seven people had arrived.

"Peace!"

"Finally, eight people have gathered!"

"We've waited countless years and months, and there's hope at last!"

"If nobody else came, I would have perished, but thankfully, I'm saved!"

The seven people spoke to themselves as if Peter's successful comprehension made them very happy.

"Greetings, seniors. I am Peter Brown," Peter gave a cupped fist salute.

"No need for formalities. The achiever is the teacher. In this Heavenly Vault, we eight represent the four directions, the eight directions. Only when someone from each direction successfully comprehends can we proceed to the next comprehension—the Wooden Rule, which not everyone can successfully comprehend!"

"Alas, I've comprehended it several times but never succeeded!"

Peter looked at the seven others in confusion, not knowing how to comprehend it.

"I wonder how to comprehend the Wooden Rule?" Peter asked.

The seven glanced at Peter, and one of them said, "In this Heavenly Vault, we eight count as the highest existence. No one surpasses us. When one finally comprehends all the Five Elements Rules, they become the master of this Heavenly Vault and an immortal existence, capable of reworking the world's rules."

"Indeed, they can redefine the rules of this cosmos!"

From these words, Peter understood one thing: Once the Five Elements Rule is comprehended, he would become an immortal existence.

Everyone looked at Peter, each with a smile on their face.

"Peter Brown, I have no time to wait. Let's enter the realm!"

An elderly person said, with urgency in their expression.

Peter, puzzled, asked, "I just comprehended it from the Phantom Realm. Is the Wooden Rule also a comprehension from such a realm?"

A person who looked like a child laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. The Wooden Rule isn't just a regular rule. What we're about to enter isn't a Phantom Realm but a real world containing various trials. Only by truly comprehending can you achieve eternity. Of course, there aren't many dangers. If you fail, you won't die, but you will head towards one of two extremes. Haven't you noticed me? I'm regressing towards youth. Each failure makes me age backward significantly. If I fail again, I'll return to the womb and disappear completely. Have you seen Zach? He's heading towards aging. He will regress till his life extends no further, and he'll die."

When Peter looked at the others, that youthful person laughed, "They came later and chose to regress towards youth. They, too, have failed several times."

Peter was completely dumbfounded, never expecting such a situation.

Then a woman sighed and said, "Comprehension is so difficult, with no cultivation to bring along. It's purely a mundane realm and a land of warfare, where death can occur at any time!"

Peter could only smile wryly, realizing the last trial was indeed formidable. For many who have cultivated since childhood, it was a challenging pass.

When Peter looked at the stunningly beautiful woman, he thought that she probably had been a Daughter of Heaven from a young age, growing up immersed in cultivation and combat through cultivation energy. Experiencing a life without cultivation was genuinely challenging for her.

With that thought, Peter asked, "Is there truly no cultivation at all?"

All seven nodded.

The old man sighed and said, "Yes, not only that, but we'll also enter battles in the starry sky. You can imagine what consequences await if we only know how to fight with cultivation energy and fall into the starry void."

Peter had to nod secretly—if that were true, he wouldn't have much chance to survive.

"And not just that, there are various other conflicts like family internal struggles. It's stressful just thinking about it, easily getting tricked if you're not careful!"

Seven top experts in the cultivation realm lamented profusely.

A seemingly young girl looked at Peter and said, "You still have many opportunities, so there's no need to sigh. However, there's one thing you must know: we are in a competitive relationship. When we enter, we create some difficulties for each other to prevent the other from succeeding first. You've comprehended four rules in such a short time, showing you're an awesome person. I'll use my rule's power to influence you. Most of them would likely use the same tactic. Your first time won't be easy, hehe."

Everyone laughed out loud.
